Ingredients:
For the Shortcake:
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
For the White Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Topping:
1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the White Chocolate Ganache
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it is warm.
Add the white chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Shortcake
Preheat your oven to 175°C and spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet.
Toast the coconut in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until it is lightly browned. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
Once the cake has cooled, cut it in half horizontally to make two layers.
Spread half of the white chocolate ganache on the bottom layer of the cake.
Top with half of the sliced strawberries and half of the toasted coconut.
Place the second layer of cake on top and repeat with the remaining ganache, strawberries, and coconut.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
